Full Circle: EnterpriseFest and Why This One Means a Little More to Us

Every so often, a project comes along that's about more than just the work. EnterpriseFest 2026 is one of those projects and to explain why, we need to go back to where it all began.

2018: Walking In as a New Business

When we first started out, the University’s Enterprise celebrations were one of the major events we attended. We were a fledgling company, figuring things out and surrounded by other entrepreneurs doing the same. It was an environment that energises you – reminding you why you started.

We still remember that! We won Self-Employed Placement of the Year and kept the trophy in our edit suite.

What Is EnterpriseFest?

For those who haven't come across it, EnterpriseFest is a celebration of entrepreneurship and new startups at the University of Portsmouth, bringing together new and emerging businesses, industry voices, and the next generation of founders. It celebrates collaboration and encourages innovation. It’s always a great night.

EnterpriseFest - Event Film!

Fast forward to now, and we've come full circle in the best possible way. This year, we were commissioned to produce the Event video for EnterpriseFest. It's the kind of opportunity that doesn't come along often and we wanted to do it justice.

Why It Feels Different

For us this was a chance to work with the team that shaped us, catch up with other successful businesses that started the same time as us and see what the students are up to these days! The event was great, we were in a room full of new startups when you while remembering being one, and this time rather than looking for opportunities, we were in the privileged position of having helped document and amplify the stories of the people who are right at the start of theirs.

Here's to the Next Generation

To every startup attending EnterpriseFest this year, we see you, and we're rooting for you. The fact that you're in that room already says something.
